Caught in the Flames on FFn
By mid-afternoon, Bella’s backyard was filled with some of
my coworkers, my mom and a few of Bella’s neighbors. Emmett was at the grill,
dancing to the music playing on Bella’s sound dock. I could see my mom fuss
over Bella, excited that I had such a wonderful girlfriend. Hell, I was
excited. She was everything I had ever hoped for, wished for in my life.
Someone smart, funny, sarcastic and snarky. Not to mention beautiful inside and
out.
I did truly love her. More than anyone else on this world. I
knew that she was scared of saying it back, but she showed me how much she
loved me with her actions. I wanted to hear her say those three little words,
but I couldn’t push her. I couldn’t force her to say something she wasn’t ready
to say. Her fear was her guiding force. I hated that James and her mother
implanted this fear inside of her, causing her flame inside to flicker and burn
out. It was slowly gaining its power, but she was still hesitant to trust.
That would take time.
